“SUCCESS IS A CHOICE”
BEACHSIDE OF CONNECTICUT SOCCER CLUB WELCOME
Beachside of Connecticut Soccer Club is a premier program that serves highly motivated, dedicated and
enthusiastic athletes on and off the soccer field. We are confident that our quality coaching combined with
our competitive and challenging environment will help shape our athletes into positive young adults and
competent soccer players
Here at Beachside we are grateful to have athletes of all backgrounds, abilities and interests. Every single
one of our athletes is very important to us. That is why it is imperative that we maintain a healthy outlook
on sport. While winning and playing both attractive and effective soccer is important to us, developing our
athlete’s personal values and soccer talents is foremost.
Since 1994, the uniqueness of Beachside continuous: we have not compromised our integrity, maintained
our high professional standards and player expectations, and have emphasized a flexible, technical and
attractive style of play. Over the long run our setbacks have been equally as important to growth as our
success: it is in our setback and disappointments where our club rises to the top and differentiates itself.
This consistent and positive environment has developed Beachside into the most successful soccer club in
player development on and off the field in the Region. Our track record speaks for itself, and our coaches,
players and parents have all played a role in our success and development as a club over the last 18 years.
New for 2012-13, our U-11 Academy Teams provide highly enthusiastic younger players the full
“Beachside Experience” -- improving their skills and game understanding and building positive
competitive traits -- while also continuing to enjoy playing with their friends on their club travel teams.
In the Fall and Spring teams will practice two times week (with special session for Goalkeepers) and
players are expected to attend both of these sessions. There is a possibility of adding a third optional
practice depending on the demand. We will play a combination of 8v8 and 11 v 11 friendly games, mostly
on Sunday mornings, to avoid conflicts with players’ club travel games. We will also participate in three
selected outdoor tournaments. (1.Thanksgiving, 2.Early March, 3. Mid March or Memorial Day.) In the
winter we will train once per week indoors and one outdoor running practice on Saturday morning. We will
also compete in at least one indoor tournament.
We expect all players to attend the large majority of events; we can handle occasional conflicts provided a
commitment to the program is evident.
